The Russian ambassador to India also said that there is not much difference between Russia and India’s position on the overall Afghan situation and noted that Moscow’s approach in according recognition to a Taliban regime would depend on its actions.

Kudashev said that Russia would like to see an inclusive government in Afghanistan that can ensure security, stability and predictability.
